What is Palform?

Form and survey builder that encrypts every answer in the browser before it reaches the server.

Who is Palform best for?

Palform is best for organisations whose forms collect sensitive answers that no one but them should read.

  • Sensitive data collection

    Responses are encrypted in the respondent's browser, so Palform's servers hold only limited metadata.

  • EU data residency

    The company is in the UK, its servers are in the EU, and form pages carry no tracking, ads or analytics.

  • Signed forms

    E-signatures, address search and secure file uploads are included on the free plan.

  • Larger organisations

    Business adds OpenID sign-in, team permissions and audit logs at one price for all users.

How much does Palform cost?

Palform's Free plan costs nothing with unlimited responses, 10 forms and 1 user; Pro is £3 a month and Business £7.80 a month, each covering every user in the organisation.

What happens if I lose my Palform encryption key?

When you create a key, Palform offers to back up a copy to its server, encrypted with a passphrase only you know. If the key is lost from your device, entering that passphrase restores it; without a backup, encrypted responses cannot be read.
